    The Dayne family claims it was a fallen star, they built their castle on the location (Starfall) and forged Dawn from the metal. It glows white (unlike valyrian steel which is dark and shadowy) and is wielded by the Sword of the Morning (which isn't a continuous line, only when a swordsman is deemed worthy enough by the family).

    Stupid Westeros.org. I'm now wondering if dragonglass, dragonfire and valyrian steel all fail to kill the NK but only Dawn (wielded by the Sword of the Morning, housed at Starfall) is the only thing that can.

    How will this affect my schedule during the football season is all I give two shits about.

    Dredging up old point made years ago but really becoming relevant again - looking back at Dany's dreams in the Tower of the Undying from both the book and what the producers had to re-write you can form a lot of opinions: The book: a metric fuck-ton of visions that turn out to be all accurate foretellings planted by the lazy fat fuck GRRM, a repeating writing style of his (see book 1) https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/House_of_the_Undying The Show (S2 E10): note Dany never touches the throne in the destroyed hall - she's pulled away by the calls of distress from her children My thought is D&D had to distill down GRRM's content and extract what is key to the series as presented on screen - that Dany gets told what will actually happen.

    That reminded me of...

    Napa is an overnight trip (so 2 days accounted for) and Carmel/Big Sur is another overnight trip (another 2 days). Accounting for travel days and SF itself (overnighter) it will might feel a little rushed at the book-ends.
  7. Grippe
    But why? I see nothing but bias and bad judgement in this decision!!!!

    Another vote for flying into SF/Bay Area and basing a week pleasantly roaming the coast/local area. Napa & Big Sur included. That shit right there is marriage magic. From this: To this: With a lot of this: "Honey, I love you so much you're getting pooper tonight"

    As long as you close the door on Derka and CTJ.

    While he is a Targaryen, he is definitely more Stark looks wise - it might make sense part of the story arc is that Dany is more of a 'true' dragon than Jon regardless of primogeniture.
  11. Grippe
    That arc also helped solidify Joffrey's 1) unethical ruthlessness (having babies slaughtered) and 2) complete lack of understanding of how to play political games. It also showed Cersei was loosing her perceived control over him.

    Aggy is the puppy mill of diploma factories in the state of Texas.

    He was a revelation in IT crowd, then I was let down by Toast of London - but this new one is damn funny at times.

    Is that Chykie Brown behind them?
  15. Grippe
    Or where he gets his freak on with the Septa.

    Yeah, well, there's still people over at the Shag too.

    Clemson owning UNC is one thing (actually, a given) but I have to admit a morbid curiosity of how much this guy is going to want to lay the wood on Mack.

    They're listening thru any smart device - do you already own a phone, tablet or smart TV? My wife and I finally said fugget and got Alexa because they already have our info - there's simply no way to avoid them unless you go full hermit.

    Natural Selection.

    Screw raiding the PAC12 for teams - if, and this is a big if, we're going to take anyone it'd need to be LSU and Arky. Fuck the SEC and I seriously want to box in Aggy by B12 blue bloods in the region. And before any pseudo-intellectual goat fuckers say we ain't getting LSU or Arky I realize it's a stretch - but it's a stretch in the right direction and not some goat fucker sloppy second like Arizona or Utah brands. Set the bar in the right direction and put Deloss on the mission with a high private jet, golf and single-malt budget.

    Those guys from Seattle are smart.

    I did FMS for a few years - rarely do we sell our best tech even to our allies. Normally a platform like the F35 will have dumbed down tech/armor/armaments on it in order to preserve any advantage US Forces might need later.

    I arsn't giving up on the kid. Take the year, work on yer degree, stay healthy and get another evaluation in January.

    Only in a depressed market (though I will defer to Phil). In a growing market like Travis/Williamson counties the VA has not been a hurdle for me (3 loans in a 19 year span). Edit: as a data point - I just moved into a `stagnant` market (Palo Pinto county) and the VA was a breeze.
